    You're probably right, but I still think /. should start making a habbit of using caching technologies like FreeCache or Coral when linking to media.

    Slashdotting and the ensuing "/. KILLED MY SERVER!1" comments are, erm... funny and all, but it kind of defeats the purpose of a news web-site when links are posted in the full knowledge that they won't be available for very long simply because of the popularity of the news-site.

    The Walt Disney Company has shut down its cel animation studios. Pixar will probably leave Disney after The Incredibles and Cars have completed their runs. There's trouble in Miramaxland. Now I know why Michael Eisner decided to get out in 24 months: there won't be a Disney left. What does survive of the company will assume a role similar to that of Cedar Fair [cedarfair.com], which runs a few amusement parks.

    Is this news for nerds now? New movie trailers? I mean, come on, the fact that it's computer animated is no longer a novelty. Or is it that it's a Pixar movie and Pixar has an association with Apple?

    Oh well, I'd rather have posts like this that are somewhat impertinent than some of the recent slashdot posts that are completely unremarkable and/or stupid slashvertisements.

    For the first time an animation company has come along that can create new and interesting characters and movies, without have to rehash old characters or make sequels. Eisner is hoping to lord over Pixar all the characters from Toy Story, Monsters Inc, etc. in the hope that Pixar will come back to Disney. It must drive Eisner nuts that Pixar doesn't need their old characters or movies!

    (BTW, I noticed Disney released another Lion King movie this past week.... It's time to stop beating a dead horse (or lion) and make some new stuff!)

    Like all truly great cartoons, this one speaks to children and adults, often simultaneously. It has an excellent cast of fully-realized core characters and occurs in an undersea universe that has an odd (often arbitrary but strangely consistent) collection of rules that sometimes become part of the jokes (such as fires burning underwater). I particularly like how everything goes live-action whenever they go above the water surface and the odd live-action inserts. It may be pothead humor, but it works for this pothead.

    It sounds like you haven't watched any episodes. You should check it out. You may be surprised.

    WTF are the Incredibles, and why do they not even get a single paragraph description in the post? It might be nice for those of us that don't feel like downloading 20meg to figure out what this "story" is about.

    I think the idea is implicitly sexually incendiary, although I suppose the same is true for a male elastic superhero.

    Stop beating around the bush and just say it: You miss goatse man.
